Title: Brake lights switch.
Post by: BillsLotus on Saturday,July 24, 2021, 08:29:56 AM
Converting my brake Master Cylinder to a 5/8 Tilton. Need some help. Where is the brake light connected to the pedal?

The brake light switch is in the tee by the RH radius arm attachment point to the chassis.

PS: Might be LH side on a TC with boosters.

On my TCS, it is on the top of the frame “leg” on the left near the battery. It might be handy to note that the threads are 3/8 - 24 not 1/8 NPT like many are.

As you have probably gathered its not connected to the pedal,  it's a pressure activated switch connected to the brake lines in the rear engine compartment.

By the way, I have done that same conversion and removed both boosters and I like the pedal.  I never drove the car with the power brakes so I can't compare.
